Cold Space is cool. No doubt about it. The idea of portraying the US-Soviet Cold War in space is a really good image. If you though the Cuban Missile crises was bad, imagine the arguements that would have erupted if the US had placed an orbital weapons barrery in geo-sync orbit over moscow.

The system seems simple to learn and teach which is very important in game like. A clunky system would really detract from the feel of the game.

However its not all super spies and technothrillers. The set also allows for games involving reporters, terror...er freedom fighters and the aold staple of space opera's, independent trading ships.

DISLIKED: I felt it needed more artwork in order to depict the setting in greater detail. Also a historical time-line would be nice addition.
